Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is a gentle and careful way to treat squiggly veins in your legs.
Using an ultrasound (kind of like a camera that looks inside your body), the doctor finds the problem veins and puts a tiny bit of special medicine inside them. This medicine helps the veins close up and disappear over time.
This treatment helps your legs feel better and look better too.
It can reduce swelling, soreness, and the look of the veins—all without surgery and with very little downtime.
This technique allows us to treat vein problems at their source and offers an effective option for patients seeking both cosmetic improvement and medical relief.

Crafting Your Treatment Plan
When you come to Laurel Clinical for your vein treatment, we start by having a friendly chat with you to learn what’s been bothering you and how we can help. We’ll explain how ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy works in simple words, show you how it can make your legs feel better, and answer any questions you might have so you know exactly what to expect.
The Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy experience
During your treatment, we first check if you need any pain medicine to keep you comfortable. Using an ultrasound machine (like a special camera that looks inside the body), your doctor finds the exact veins that need fixing. Then a tiny amount of medicine is gently injected into those veins. This medicine makes the weak veins close up so your body can slowly make them disappear.
The Recovery period
Recovery after your vein treatment is usually quick and easy. Most people can go back to their normal day soon after the appointment. You might see a little redness, swelling, or feel some tenderness where the medicine was injected, but this is normal and usually goes away in a few days. Over time, your body slowly absorbs the treated veins, and your legs start to look and feel better.

Potentials Risks& Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and short-lasting.
You might notice small bruises, redness, or tender spots where the injections were done. These usually go away on their own in a few days.
Rarely, more serious problems can happen, such as:
Blood clots
Inflammation
Allergic reaction to the medication injected
(These are uncommon and can be treated if they occur.)
Following your aftercare instructions helps lower the risk of problems.
Wearing your compression stockings as directed also supports safe healing.
How Effective is it?
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is very effective for treating varicose and spider veins.
It can clear about 60–80% of the veins that are treated.
Ultrasound helps the doctor see the veins clearly, so deeper or harder-to-reach veins can be treated safely.
Most patients notice less pain, swelling, and discomfort after treatment.
The appearance of the veins usually improves a lot as the veins fade over time.
Results can last longer when patients also follow healthy habits that support good vein function.
